JOSHUA TREE, CA (April 26, 2024) – Amidst the quiet Joshua Tree dusk, a symphonic alliance was formed as live music and production act Mojave Grey (Zander Bleck and Michael Pozzi) and Swedish DJ duo Moonshine (Oliver and Victor Simic) crafted their latest single “Just Begun.” The track originated first in the Moonshine studio late last summer and evolved over the course of a year to reveal a collaborative project that masterfully captures the sonic essence of both groups. An unconventional and experimental odyssey, “Just Begun” offers an exploration of genres that combines the distinct, rock-meets-electronic sound of Mojave Grey with Moonshine’s deep house production expertise to create a new listening experience uniquely in a category of its own.
As “Just Begun” unfolds, it unveils the lush electronic soundscapes where Mojave Grey’s rich, atmospheric textures meet the robust, pulsating beats of Moonshine. This collaboration not only blends styles but cultures, intertwining the desert’s mystique with the bold spirit of northern Europe. “Just Begun” is a narrative of continual beginnings, speaking to the universal experience of always being at the start of yet another adventure, no matter where you are in life.
Oliver and Victor’s vision was clear from the outset, guiding the collaborative process with their fresh perspective on the genre. This clarity brought forth a new, yet simultaneously familiar sound for Mojave Grey as the duo leaned into their individual, raw talents as they returned to their artistic origins. More lyrical than their recent releases, “Just Begun” offers a powerful display of Zander’s impressive vocal range as he delivers a boundary pushing performance reminiscent of his days on tour with the likes of Lady Gaga. Similarly and synergistically, Pozzi’s dynamic string riffs anchor the composition as his technical mastery reverberates throughout effortless transitions from soft, melodic passages to blistering high-energy shredding that drives the song forward.
From Moonshine: “With ‘Just Begun’ we wanted to create a track that honors Mojave Grey’s distinct style while infusing our own electronic dance elements, resulting in a track that feels like a natural evolution of both our sounds. When we listen to ‘Just Begun’ it almost feels like a cinematic experience, taking the listener on a journey through its vivid soundscapes and dynamic shifts. You could say that we poured some Moonshine into the desert with this one”
